i3 Dial - How to Dim / Brighten PG3x devices

I may be missing something here so I thought I'd throw this out to the community. I am trying to use an i3 Dial to dim / brighten LifX lights connected via PG3x. There doesn't seem to be a way to capture the dial movement in IoX or did I miss something?

I also tried writing a program using STATUS set to 25% and then forcing the LifX lights to 25% brightness, but that failed to work as well. It's as if changes to the dial don't actually register in IoX, but that's not entirely true because if you turn the dial clockwise devices in a scene will eventually respond in the full ON. You cannot do the opposite however and turn the dial counter clockwise to turn OFF the same device/s in the scene. Only clockwise movement works and even this requires almost a full turn of the dial before you get a response.

The dial seems to be very limited and I am wondering if anyone else has tried anything like this with any success?
